Researchers have indicated the importance of engaging learners in self-regulated learning (SRL) states when situated in game-based learning contexts; however, it remains a challenge for both educational and educational technology researchers to effectively integrate both. To this end, this study investigated how SRL strategies are interwoven with…

Student performance, disciplinary innovation and teaching methodology occupy the main concerns of educational research. Therefore, there is a greater interest in gamification strategies, where digital tools facilitate the development of competitive activities and strengthening of learning. One example of this idea is the use of video games created…

Using a descriptive cross-sectional survey design, this study investigates how different player types--achiever, explorer, killer, and socializer--engage with gamified learning elements in higher education. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory--which emphasizes autonomy, competence, and relatedness in fostering intrinsic motivation--the research…

This article aims to systematically explore the literature on game-based learning in higher education, focusing on its impacts on students' thinking and learning. Prisma method was employed to analysis the data. The article published between 2016 to 2023 from Web of Science, Scopus and Eric were taken into consideration for this study with the…

This research examines the effect of critical reflection activities in an educational environment that uses active and blended learning experiences for students to develop confidence, motivation, and engagement with their learning. A mixed-methods research approach was adopted on a sample of 137 Communications and Media students, who were involved…

Purpose: Higher education is undergoing a significant transformation, demanding a rethinking of instructional methods, the establishment of novel assessment frameworks and the incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies to advance the development of learning competencies. The use of simulations is an alternative that offers satisfactory results…

Although digital game-based learning (DGBL) has the potential to enhance learning motivation and complex cognitive skills of students, its adoption and effectiveness are heavily dependent on lecturers' acceptance. Comprehending lecturers' perceptions and beliefs underlying their decision-making processes is therefore significant. This study…

Background Study: Gamification is an effective and interactive approach to engaging students in teaching and learning. As digital technology develops, higher education institutions (HEIs) must embrace and keep pace with gamification for interactive teaching and learning approaches. Objective: The purpose of this study is to review gamification in…

Quantum computing is an emerging and quickly expanding domain that captivates scientists and engineers. Recognizing the limitations of conventional educational approaches in adequately preparing individuals for their incursion in this area, this research introduces a novel board game called "Qubit: The Game," whose objective is twofold:…

Technology has become an essential part of our everyday life, and its use in educational environments keeps growing. In addition, games are one of the most popular activities across cultures and ages, and there is ample evidence that supports the benefits of using games for assessment. This field is commonly known as game-based assessment (GBA),…

The aim of this study resonated with the pursuit of achieving enhanced engagement in teaching and learning that informs critical thinking, and knowledge retention among students. Despite the growing trend of technological integration in teaching and learning, however, there exists a lack of empirical evidence and comprehensive studies that…

The importance of providing mechanisms and tools that effectively support the transition from implicit to explicit representations of Learning Design has been emphasised by previous research in the field of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). In addition, the benefits of Game-based learning approaches have been long documented in the educational…

How can educators use games and playful interactions to enhance the practice of skills related to leadership and management? Effective leadership involves a number of skills, such as strategic thinking, perspective-taking, critical thinking, ethical thinking, resource management, and reflection on one's biases. In this article, we will review how…

Gamification is a learning technique that transfers the mechanics of games to the educational environment in order to achieve better pedagogical results mediated by technological tools, this technique is used as an alternative to the traditional teaching methodology that is increasingly used in higher education, which is why the objective of the…

The digital revolution has heavily influenced digital game-based learning, yet as the revolution progresses, the conception of such learning has shifted along with the increasing complexity of the digital environment. Our study thus aims to identify research standing at this important juncture and to explain the shift in digital game-based…
